2017 Fiat 500L Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Fiat's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Fiat 500L? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your 500L towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 500L's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Fiat 500L’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Fiat's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Fiat 500L? Yes. Fiat 500L transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

  • Should I avoid driving my Fiat 500L if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 500L to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
